    Hi everyone! I am reposting this in attempt to get more advice and support on my issue. I purchased a pre-owned Apple Mac Pro 2,1 this past December. I mainly use it for editing my photographs on Adobe PS, using RAW camera filter. The unit never gave me any issues, until earlier this week...

    El Capitan 10.11.6 system freeze!

    My late 2013, 27" iMac is completely up to date with software, but keeps randomly having complete system wide freezes (yes, usually when Safari is open). Today it froze, I crashed it and rebooted, but it's still frozen. I tried rebooting in safe mode. Nothing. Last time this happened I found...

    Identical OS X Installers have different sizes. Why? Checksum?

    I'm downloading past OS X Installers from the Mac App Store for safekeeping and I keep ending up with different sizes for identical versions. They are all off by a few bytes.

    My applications are taking hours to open and when they do they can barely function properly.

    My mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11 can be in one of two states. Either working like a dream or struggling to open most apps (when they do most can hardly function). It tends to be after a couple of hours after turning on that my macbook starts working again and then once it's...

    Hello, I'm somewhat new to OSx but I know my way around it. Whenever I open my Macbook from sleep it will take a few minutes for the internet to connect. The network settings will say something to the effect of "Received IP address, no internet connection". It's usually much quicker to...

    Safari is slower

    Ever since I updated to 10.11.6 (I believe that is the current version), websites that used to run smoothly end up freezing and I have to close the tab or if I can't, manually kill the process in Activity Monitor.

    Can macOS Sierra Public Beta Be Installed on Top of El Capitan?

    The title says it all. Can the mac OS Sierra Public Beta -- regardless of the Public Beta number, not DPs, mind you -- be installed on top of a current installation of El Capitan? Or does it by default have to be installed on a newly erased/initialized hard drive? The reason why I ask is this...
